i desired something below my feet that would be an extension of my chair

so when i'd looked down while sitting in it,

i'd see something lovely underfoot.

i searched

EVERYWHERE

and saw

NOTHING

with "the halo" around it!

so i challenged myself

as i had been admiring those crochet doily rugs for a while,

i decided to give it a try

and crochet one myself!

after all,

how hard could it be??

so,

armed with my crochet book

and having gathering the materials that i envisioned,

beautiful wool tape yarn in the perfect shade of *milk*

i set out to crochet...

mind you,

i had also never crocheted before this project.

i just knew it was destiny!

again,

i desired a little glamour within this too

so i also incorporated sequin yarn as i was crocheted.

when you see it in person,

it has just enough glimpses of,

well ~

starlight!

i have been enjoying creating little nooks and crannies

within my current home

~ infusing bits and pieces of who i am.

and

i would encourage all of you who are timid about decorating,

to wave your magic wands

and give it a try too!

my starlit chair sits in the family room.
it is long and narrow
a most challenging and not very well lite space indeed.
so i pearled the focal wall in this room
and LOVE the results!
this is the tv component cabinet area...

i have been looking for just the right art piece to hang there...

i'm not worried,

as i know it will find me:)

these mercury candle sticks were just the right shape for me...

all curvy with a tough of glam...

they have an ombre effect to them adding interest

the tops start off a soft blue, fading down into the silver

and when a candle is lit within them, the distressed finish casts a glow

like stars in the sky!!

the open weave linen i chose

for the component cabinet and the french doors to the deck

have a shimmer to them too...

and of course,

the cabinet hardware needed to be glamorous as well!

details! details!!

the kitchen and family room

are the only rooms in the house that i painted a whisper blue/gray color

everywhere else has been given a coat of white...

i find that it reflects my white washed pieces of furniture in such a lovely light...

Rosemary, this chair is so YOU!! Stunning, glorious and sparkly. I love how you've transformed it, especially that corset detailing. Swoon.....and more swoon...Your family room looks lovely and peaceful. I can't get over your crocheted rug, too! Never thought to try that before. Thank you for sharing this beauty. It's good to see posts from you again. xo, Susan

I love your attention to detail. You did an amazing job on the chair. I'm completely self-taught in the reupholster department too, so I have a good idea what you went through with the staples. LOL You've given everything else a magical touch as well.

I just found your blog via Common Ground. Everything I've looked at on your blog is beautiful and that chair is gorgeous! You are so talented, I also like the floor lamp you have behind the chair. Looks like its been painted, what colors did you use to paint it? I have a floor lamp I've been wanting to paint and I think those colors would look great on it.

This is a lovely chair creation, but everything becomes magical in your hands. I adore the treatment on the walls and the linen curtains in the cabinet are perfect. So glad you visited. I adore the little arrows you made. They are a joy to have out. Thank you!
